The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines aggression as a forceful action or procedure (such as an unprovoked attack) especially when intended to dominate or master. That might trigger thoughts of Hitler’s actions against the Jews, gays, and the mentally ill, or of Putin’s actions against the Ukraine. A microaggression is a verbal comment or nonverbal action that subtly and often unconsciously or even unintentionally expresses a prejudiced attitude that negatively impacts an individual who might identify as being from a marginalized or nonmainstream group. Microaggressions can occur based on almost anything: race, culture, sex, gender, sexual orientation, skin color, food, religion, politics, personal biases, weight, talent, beauty, education, income, music, beliefs, bigotry, bullying, ad infinitum.
